Xbox Networking Problem

I got the Xbox Wireless Adapter and set up my Home Network. I downloaded and installed Zune to stream from my computer to my Xbox but I've tried Zune and Windows Media Player 11 and had no luck. I have went through all of the settings to enable file sharing and tried other settings with my firewall but for some reason Zune and Windows Media Player can see my Xbox and set the file sharing properties but my Xbox does not see my computer.

Check the status light on your adapter
The state of the adapter's status light indicator can tell you the
status of the Xbox 360 Wireless G Networking Adapter. Here's what the
different lights mean:

Steady green light: The adapter is connected to a wireless router, gateway, or access point. The adapter is ready to use.

How to configure wireless settings on your Xbox 360 console

Flashing red light: There is a problem. The adapter might be experiencing a hardware failure. Contact Xbox support.

Not illuminated:
The adapter is not receiving power. Unplug the USB connector and plug
it in again. Still no light? Try plugging the adapter into a USB port on
the front of the console.

On the console, go to My Xbox, and then select System Settings.

Select Network Settings.

Select Configure Network.

On the Basic Settings tab, select Wireless Mode.

Note If
wireless mode is not available and you are using the black Wireless N

Select your wireless network name.

If your network is not listed, try the following:

Select Specify Unlisted Network, and enter your wireless network name (also referred to as your Service Set Identifier [SSID]).

connection.

Press B on your controller, and then select Test Xbox LIVE Connection.

Okay, to connect to Xbox Live using Wireless Internet you will need this:

One Xbox Wireless connection
unit, There are two types, the black and white versions. The black one
is able to pick up the most diverse signals and has a higher potential
for speed so I recommend that one.You will also need, of course, a high speed internet source (modem) and a wireless router connected to the modem. When looking for wireless routers look for ones with marks claiming to be compatible with Xbox Live or a Windows OS. Those have been tested to work with Xbox.

Before trying to set up your Xbox Live, make sure your Router is set up with your computer, and set to be used as a wireless router. That's another tip all together but just follow your installation CD.

Okay so here we go!

First, Connect the wireless networking adapter to the back of your Xbox.If you have a network cable plugged into your xbox, unplug it. Check to make sure the adapter's light is on.

Here's what the light's mean:On the gray adapter:No light: It's not getting enough power( try plugging it another USB slot)Green light: It is connected to a wireless router, gateway or wireless access point.Red light: It is not connected, and is ready for configuration.Flashing red: There is a malfunction. (try again, if the problem persists return it for a replacement)

On the black adapter:No light: It's not getting enough power( try plugging it another USB slot)Green light: It is connected to a wireless router, gateway or wireless access point.Flashing green: The adapter is attempting to connect to a wireless router, gateway, or access point. Red light: It is not connected, and is ready for configuration.Flashing red: There is a malfunction. (try again, if the problem persists return it for a replacement)

NOTE: If your Network isn't listed you will have to manually enter it.To do this select "Specify unlisted network"You will need to enter your SSIDThen
choose which security you used to set it up on your Computer (ie: WPA,
WEP...) Then enter your security code. If there is no code then select
"no security"

Your adapter should have a green light now.

Now go back to "Network Settings" and select "Test Xbox Live Connection"

If it works your good to go!

Plug the wireless USB adapter into the USB port on the back of the Xbox 360 console.

Turn on your Xbox 360 console.

The console will recognize the wireless adapter and will walk you thru the wireless network setup. Be sure to have your WEP key (if encryption is used) for your router before you start this process.

This adapter works well - I am using one and regularly play Modern Warfare 2 with multiple chat sessions. There is no noticable difference between my wired network connection and this wireless network connection.
